pass
The standard Unix password manager using GPG and Git
pass is a lightweight, open-source command-line password manager for Unix-like systems that stores each password in a GPG-encrypted file organized in a directory hierarchy. It integrates with Git for version control and synchronization, and follows Unix philosophy by using standard file management tools. A large community has built compatible clients, GUIs, and extensions for various platforms.
Each password is stored as a GPG-encrypted text file in a directory tree, managed via a simple shell script with Git integration for synchronization
